Poke Runner

Ok. I don't know about the rest of y'all, but my Runner's windshield apparently is a magnet for any kind of debris that can cause a crack. In the last year, I have had 3 cracks and I just got my 4th this morning on the way to work. It's just an inconvenience and $40~ that I would rather spend on 6th Street.



Does anyone know where I can purchase a windshield that is indestructable?

My brother works for a windshield place and he said pony up extra cash for a better windshield.
I think PPG makes them and those are pretty thick compared to the standard version that insurance companies pay for;they buy the cheapest one and don't offer the option but should cover a base cost and you pay the diff.

I got a PPG windshield for my Runner through my brother and it only cost me about $70 but that's supposed to be secret. The windshield business takes well over 100% profit from your insurance company.

40 bucks? its free replacement here in MA!

yep, KY requires insurance to cover it 100%- up to 6 winshields per car, per year!

Arizona I used to get it done for free....

Canada is a very different story!
If you have the insurance pay for it they mark it the same as an accident !!!!!!
I found that out the hard way and now pay for everything out of pocket.

On my Pathfinder, PPG had two options on windows. I got the more expensive one. I don't remember the difference, but it must have ben significant enough..lol

My insurance charges me a $50 deductible on my glass claims.

PPG by far. I live around the PPG plants here in PA and they put a lot of emphasis on their quality. I have a LOF (now Pilkerton) and it cracked on me again. The next sheild will be a PPG. My sisters beretta is the original and its a 89.

You need a SpeedGlass windshield. I forgot where I saw it first, but it was an off-road shop, and it was for Toyota's. Try eBay.

the first place that I saw it was at Rockstompers... now I don't think they sell it anymore...

Any thoughts on Toyota glass? My 97 still has OEM glass, and I'm sure it isn't the original...

Here in WY we go through LOTS of windshields....I have started to ask the glass shop for 'seconds' or 'blems', I have never been able to see why they are not first quality and the price is WAY lower.

Just an FYI. My 99 with a PPG windshield has 3 nice separate cracks in it. It's gonna happen if you drive on the highway much.

I sware that bug shields help deflect rocks. I have gone over Mt. Hood in Oregon tons of times and have gotten passed by big trucks throwing tons of rocks and I have made it out without a crack. Seems like they work better for rocks than bugs.

Maybe i am the only scammer but i live near a cement plant and when anybody around here gets a chip or crack in their windshield we just grab a tag number from one of the trucks and take it into their office. They are pretty cool about it too.

Howdy yourself! The weather here is awesome right now. I'm from the Bay Area before here so I've spent time in GV.

some jerk on the freeway threw marbles at my truck, cracked the windshield jsut under the left wieprblade... anywyas, i was thinking maybe for now jsut coating it with liquid nails, and hope it doesnt spread anymore.. its already got about an 8" crack off the spider ...... is percy's speed glass still around? im sure it would have deflected the marble without a problem
